I wonder what kind of beer it is? It's German so it's more than likely a lager. Maybe a Hefeweizen which is always a good choice.

Catholics have always belived in sipping brew. I think it's cool. Not everything great is a sin! 
I've never been, but it sounds like a lot of fun. My former neighbor (VERY German) used to go and tell me about the different beer she tried.ylexot said:Speaking of Germans and beer...I went to the Brickskeller last night
I used to love parties at her house because she'd fill a baby swimming pool with ice and a wide assortment of quality beer from all over the world.
Oh, and the fact that all I had to do was stumble home across the street afterwards.

I only had three beers...jazz lady said:I've never been, but it sounds like a lot of fun. My former neighbor (VERY German) used to go and tell me about the different beer she tried.
First was the Russian Baltica #4 Dark - 16.9oz, 5.6% alc. - very good, well balanced between malt and hops
Second was the Unibroue Terrible - 750ml, 10.5% alc.
- also very good and similar to the Baltica My friends thought it was dark because you could barely see lights when looking through it. I told them I've made something darker and I'd have to do it again...call it Black Hole Beer Last was the Black Cat - 16.9oz, 3.4% alc. - won two awards, but I thought it wasn't worth it...very little malt flavor, not too hoppy, just weak overall. Strange, usually the beers get better the more you drink
Some of my friends do a BYOWB party - Bring Your Own Weird Beer. Everybody has to bring a 6-pack of something unusual (i.e. no Bud, etc.). Good parties, but I have a tough time trying them alljazz lady said:I used to love parties at her house because she'd fill a baby swimming pool with ice and a wide assortment of quality beer from all over the world.
That's a great name for a beer.ylexot said:I've made something darker and I'd have to do it again...call it Black Hole Beer
I'm just amazed at the range of flavor in beer, especially the European ones.It depends on how much you eat first.Strange, usually the beers get better the more you drink
Man, that sounds like a great idea.Some of my friends do a BYOWB party - Bring Your Own Weird Beer. Everybody has to bring a 6-pack of something unusual (i.e. no Bud, etc.). Good parties, but I have a tough time trying them all
I can't stand crappy beer - all it's good for is cooking crabs. For me, it's like why even BOTHER?

It is said that, because of marauding barbarians, monks hid their liquid provisions in barrels in underground rooms, thus giving us the wine cellar.

I believe that, too. But there are some denominations that believe that everything pleasurable is sinful, and it's tempting to assume that a strict denomination like Catholicism would believe that, too. For one thing, the celibacy requirement for priests and nuns gives the impression that sex is bad, even though the requirement is about committing their lives to God.Kain99 said:Not everything great is a sin!
